I've got it saved, here you go.

"executives with no understanding of the industry" seems to be an endemic problem across industries: higher education, medicine, you name it, a bunch of suits with MBAs and unearned arrogance are destroying everything around us, and for some reason, we're supposed to accept that they know best

I ask you simply who should control the means of production: him or her? Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Every time it's basically this.

Between Miserable Musk, the Vampire decaying bc he injected his own son's blood and the Zenimax bloodbath, I'm increasingly convinced they were right: Money doesn't make you happy. It makes you fucking stupid.

"Support studio size." Id Software, the studio that helped pioneer the first person shooter as a genre, completely hollowed out. This industry is falling apart. Who even knows what will be left by this time next year.

so, red states have like what, 1.5 million trans people overall? and an estimate of 400k of these have already fled? that basically means that almost 1/3 of trans people from red states are already internal refugees, or 1/6 of the US trans population

little to add to Platner discourse that others haven't said better. so i'll just say once again that the era of consequence free politics is no good and it is important to bring back shame

Any AI bailout would be distasteful and insulting to the general public. The AI industry has demanded so much from us — our work, so much memory that phones and laptops are unaffordable, our attention — and it still wants more. There can be no bailout. www.wheresyoured.at/let-ai-burn/

Knicks Game 3 1st Wives 🤝 🤝 Everything Trump touches dies 🤝 🤝 USMNT Witnesses

a thing i stand really firm on is that self-applying the label "ally" is poor form

This is what happens when business is allowed to try to buy its way to success. Microsoft should have never been able to absorb this much of the industry to begin with, and Phil Spencer in particular should never show his face in this space ever again.

I think that I would rather be set on fire in the middle of the field instead of hearing an entire stadium full of the opposing team's fans sing "Wonderwall" in perfect synchronicity to celebrate kicking my ass.

I ran an absolutely 100% human, zero AI-involvement at any stage passage of my writing through an "AI detector," curious if it could really tell human from AI work, and it said my own writing was "84% AI written" then asked I wanted to pay to have it "humanized." So there's that to keep in mind.

Don't piss on me and then tell me it's rain

People who tone police minorities expressing their frustration and hurt are the exact same people who those minorities were perfectly civil to for YEARS and got exactly nowhere. We've tried being nice, the nice ones are dead, they are left with me now and i am an arsehole.

"hahaha could a failed state do this????"

It's honestly impressive that everything the Trump administration does descends into failure and farce. Like, you think they'd occasionally stumble into a smooth event. But nope, total incompetence and buffoonery at every turn.

🇺🇸 Happy 250th birthday America 🇺🇸

ME: So yeah, the Post Office ran great for a long time until this one political faction realized having a wildly successful and popular government agency undermined their goal of hollowing out all Federal agencies. Sorry about that. BEN FRANKLIN: Yes, yes. So this service is only for fans, you say?

Happy 4th of July! Here's an unrelated image!

oh my god

I transitioned at 31, and I am the happiest I have ever been. If anything, I have only felt more comfortable in my own skin as these past five years have passed. For what its worth, the examples set by Steph and some other trans folks I deeply respect gave me the courage to do it myself.

Sorry but if you ride in Waymos you’re a cuck and that’s the truth. Someone else is fucking your lady, right now, at the exact moment you’re sitting in the back seat while robot mommy drives you to school. The other guy fucks your lady so good she squirts. Thank you for your attention

it's a little disorienting that they declassified emails between elite pedophiles talking about their intention to create and maintain the sociopolitical conditions to keep transgender women as uniquely vulnerable and oppressed sex slaves and the world kept turning because nobody cares

Now that the government’s persecution of trans people has gone beyond sports and medicine for teens, where are all the people who insisted they weren’t "anti-trans" but just had some “reasonable concerns"? www.readtpa.com/p/reasonable...

Friendly reminder

Fuck this. It has never been more important to own your own shit (Sony literally just wiped 500+ digital movies people BOUGHT last week) and killing physical media is a blatant attempt to ensure we can't and reducing purchases to little more than a rental that can be wiped at a moment's notice.

Between this and “fix your hearts or die” there is a David Duchovny scene for everything you need to know about trans rights

no matter what kind of social biosex system exists, there will always be trans people because you cannot control what emerges from human life no matter much of a hard on you get about what “biological sex” a person must be. It’s not in your control. It’s inside us and we derive it for ourselves.

The other day, I stumbled across a t-shirt that said "the trans agenda is an average lifespan," and boy, if that doesn't sum up a lot.

maybe now -- despite decades of evidence -- we can stop taking conservative arguments on good faith. they just want power and will do or say anything to get the power. there is no logical consistency or rules. they. just. want. power.

"It's only then you realize while you're talking about organizing and committees, the extermination has already begun."

The news makes me think about this scene every single day.

Vex is claiming "horrible," but In Golden Flame was my introduction to LANCER. It made me love the game and the setting so damn much.

I now fervently believe this. Relatedly, I think celebrating good news and embracing joy are equally radical. You have to remember what you’re fighting for. We cannot sustainably organize around sorrow.

I genuinely and sincerely mean it with my entire heart and soul when I say if I ever end up in a camp next to another pink triangle that said shit like this I hope they get taken first and I get to watch it happen.

The organization of society around the fiction of immutable and hierachal sex is a mistake, hope this helps

Dude what do you even say at this point

Around two hours after posting this, I learned that one of my friends in our 40k community that I help manage worked for Bungie. *Worked*. JFC.

Well, I've been affected by the Bungie layoffs, and I guess I'm now looking for work. I'm a senior narrative designer on Destiny 2. I'm going to thread a little list of stuff I've done on the game; normally I go out of my way to avoid attention, but today I'd appreciate reposts.

In America if you touch the president's special slime pool they send you to prison

Exactly right. Thousands of different cultures are mingling happily in lower Manhattan right now, and anyone who can't get on board with that is the social misfit. America always has been and always will be diverse. Love it or leave it, assholes.

I think the problem is that cis people don't get how deranged transphobes are because all of their actual positions get spoken about entirely in euphemism by a political and journalistic class who share their goals but launder it through vaguespeak like "concerns" that never repeat the actual bile
